GUITAR IN THE HEAD.
Mrs. Partington's neighbor, Mrs. Sled, complained
one morning of a ringing in her ears.
“It must be owing to the guitar in your head, dear,”
said the old lady. She knew every sort of human ailment,
and, like the down-east doctor, was death on fits.
“I know what ringing in the ears is,” continued she;
“for my ears used to ring so bad, sometimes, as to wake
Paul out of his sleep, thinking it was an alarm of
fire!”
There was no doubt she was telling what was true, but
there were some that questioned it in a gentle cough. We
have n't a doubt of its truth.
